SOUTH BEND Â? Some South Shore riders will be bused between South Bend and Michigan City on Wednesday as a precaution, officials say.

Passengers using eastbound trains No. 401 and No. 403 or westbound trains No. 12 or No. 14 will instead be bused to avoid weather-related transportation problems, the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District said in a statement on its Web site.

Â?We are extremely concerned that the rapid drop in temperature being forecast over the next 12-18 hours could cause a service disruption and strand passengers, crew and equipment in remote areas of eastern LaPorte or western St. Joseph counties,Â? NICTD said. Â?NICTD apologizes for any inconvenience associated with busing.Â?
